Hear the voice of the old: I'm glad you read this for me. I would find it unreadable.

I hope Amran doesn’t take this or my review negatively: the book can be depressing, but it’s also a book I could imagine people reading generations from now to better understand how our era was so messed up — a future-classic?

I hope so too. Let me thank him also. I won't be around.

If anyone was truly gonna understand this book, I knew it'd be you, Amy.

I legit appreciate you spending time with the novel and considering the work so carefully.

My ultimate delusion of grandeur is that this novel will, as you suggested, become a cult classic over time, and a piece of work people look back upon decades from now and think: Holy shit, it was way, way worse than we realized.
